just bought a 2024 Rav 4. Last car I had was 25 years old. Don't have a clue what most of this stuff is. Wish you would do one on whats free and whats a subscription. Paying for cable is bad enough. I have an I phone but dont even get email on it. Your video was very helpful. Would take me years to figure this stuff out.

I just bought a 2024 RAV4. This tutorial has helped immensely but I don’t understand why anyone needs all of these features (except radio and navigation) on a car when they’re already on the phone.

Great video and it helped me a lot with my 2024 Rav4 Hybrid. I have a question and you probably can't help but no harm in asking. With regard to the RSA over the speed limit notification, I can change the notification from Visual & Audio to No Notification or Visual Only, OR I can just turn it off completely However, when I turn the car off and back on again it goes back to the default “ON” position or defaults to "Visual & Audio". I have tried so many times but regardless of whether I select No notification or Visual Only, when I turn car off and back on again it forgets and defaults to visual and Audio. Similar thing happens when I try to change the notification on the LTA. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?
